Chester brothers killed in crash with tanker truck

    Two brothers were killed last night when a tanker truck carrying milk collided with their vehicle.

     

    The men were driving on Route 472 in Lower Oxford Township when officials say that they failed to stop at a stop sign and ended up in the path of an oncoming tanker truck, reports ABC 6.

    Brothers Brett and Jeffrey Pierson, ages 21 and 24, were both pronounced dead at the scene. Neither was wearing a seatbelt at the time.
